Slow Cooker French Lentil & Brown Rice Soup

French lentils are delicious. They are more delicate then green lentils but more firm then red. They have a very nice flavor and texture. This is a super quick and easy soup to make if you have only a small amount of time to put it together. It takes less them 15 minutes to put all the ingredients into the slow cooker and the soup turns out great. This recipe is one of my staples. It's a great filling soup to have for a nice vegetarian meal.

Stir together broth, lentils, carrots, onion, celery, rice, kombu, garlic, herbs, and salt in the crock pot slow cooker. Cover and cook on Low for 8 hours or High for 5 hours. Spoon out the kombu and serve.
